Wednesday 27th – Friday 29th May 2026
(Bookings close 20th May 2026)
Live Football is an epic 3-day camp all about football – and exploring the big questions of life.
Based in Bristol, this camp is open to boys and girls aged 11-16, and all abilities are welcome. Whether you play every week or just love a kick about, there’s a place for you.
We play on a state-of-the-art astro pitch, with a mix of skills training and a legendary tournament, led by experienced football coaches and referees. A professional film crew captures the action, so each evening we gather for our own version of “Match of the Day” – reliving incredible goals, slick skills, hilarious celebrations and even the leaders’ epic fail.
There’s loads of downtime to chill with your mates: grab some tuck, take part in the FC tournament, jump on the games consoles, and enjoy our hilarious late-night entertainment and other fun activities thrown into the mix. There is even chances to win trophies, medals and other prizes too!
Alongside all this, we explore what football, God, and the Christian faith have in common – creating space to ask questions, think deeply, and chat honestly in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
If you love football and are curious about the bigger questions in life, you’re going to love Live Football.
